BBJ: I had to comment on what you said about Dan. The thing is, XH and I have been divorced for 10 years. During that ten years, I have dated others, and even married someone else.
Most of us on this board are pretty fresh. I don't think the conversations you have had with Dan are anything like this. It has been TEN YEARS, and Mike still cannot get it through his head that the marriage ended a long time ago. I don't think anyone on this board is still pining after their ex from ten years ago. And if they were, I am pretty sure we would smack the ever loving shiznit out of them with a 2x4. That is part of this board, when all is exhausted, to help each other learn how to heal in a healthy manner, and move on.
So I don't think you can really compare. You are in a normal stage. Mike isn't.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
